There's this thing called hope and I'm hoping they've got something for those not necessarily wanting to party with others all the time. It's too soon to tell. It's too soon to say Nightreign will have solo runs. Either you have bots or you can play in offline mode.
What's kinda weird is I have this Anarchy Reigns feeling and I wish I didn't. I bought Anarchy Reigns after it phased out and I played with bots. It was a very lackluster experience, but I got to "play it".
Again, I'm going off my hopes that they can deliver some sorta single player experience. It certainly wasn't that Microsoft E3 press conference announcement trailer for Elden Ring type feeling.
Can't say until we know more about what this game is actually like.
This one feels more unique so far and has a more unique art style. But I definitely find the pure co-op approach of Nightreign more appealing than PVPVE.
PVP has never been something I look forward to or seek out in FROM games (be it the souls games or Armored Core)

The interview with Myazaki.
So yes full Online PvPvE. But this is not a shift in the studio's direction. They will still develop singleplayer game.
Some interesting concept I guess for the a multiplayer but I am not an expert. You can assign role to your character which will give additional objective. Like defeat a designed opponent or "befriend" with a designed player.
Some objectives will be boss to defeat.
Hub area to choice and customise character then you drop on maps.
He says their will be lore in the characters gears. Other than that he didn't mention anything. So clearly not lore focus I guess.
Also the rat at the end is the "firekeeper" of the game. They wanted something cute to fit Nintendo style
Looks interesting but not for me I think.
Multiplayer centric games where story is secondary, is not my cup of tea.
